Lebanon: Shell caused blast at Hezbollah official's home

Elsewhere in this thread the number 140 violations is mentioned. You know that Israel ignores UN rulings as well as I do...

Then we can see if it's an explosion or implosion, there's a difference "Work Accidents" are quite common when they try to tamper with explosies when attempting to disassemble

We will rely on you to give the violation count, plus date and time and location Seems you forgot to mention that it was Lebanon that attacked Israel, and that wasn't the first time she had done it

"all U.N resolutions should be ignored until they are balanced and fair" But who can be the judge of that? If countries pick and choose, as Israel does, which resolutions to follow and which to ignore, the UN will have no authority at all.

There are 48 countries that have Muslim majorities and a single one with a Jewish majority. If a vote were held in the UN condemning Jews for exhaling CO2, it would pass by a massive majority.

So asking the U.N. to check out the village in Southern Lebanon, an area which Hizbollah agreed in writing, witnessed by the U.N., to demilitarize, is "using the UN as a tool to bash perceived enemies?" Wow. And your definition of a "tool to bash" is what? And you consider Hizbollah to be a "perceived" enemy? Remarkable. Hizbollah is not only a REAL enemy of Israel, it is also a REAL enemy of Lebanon, and takes its marching orders directly from Iran's Revolutionary Guard. God help Lebanon.

Please go on, but don't support hetzbollah. support democracy, freedom and tollerance to all the religion. Love the WEST and don't be an enemy of Israel. Israel is not your enemy at all. Only then you can be compared to Switzerland and any other democratic WESTERN PLACE. Please tell Harari to keep out nasrallah from the parliament. KEEP HIM OUT and VERY FAR. Leave him in his cave ! Be a friend of Israel, let's be friend! why not?

all U.N resolutions should be ignored until they are balanced and fair

UNR 1701 was a fig leaf to allow both sides to stop the war. Neither Israel or Hizbollah has complied with it. The UN and Lebanese Army are making life a lot more difficult for Hizbollah, but Hisbollah has the home court advantage. The Haaretz censor did not find my jest about Hisbollah 'rolling' a Very Large Bomblet into their house amusing. It was clear from the information provided that a left over Israeli bomblet was not the source of the explosion. The claim that it was constituted another act in the Mideast Theater of the Absurd. And so does UNR 1701 which neither side honors and both intended to violate when they signed it.

of course the south leaves a lot to be desired.

Dear Billy of Beirut I wish to understand you state that QUOTE - As a Lebanese, it`s not my problem if Israel doesn`t want them. It`s their problem to deal with, send them to the US or Canada or Australia or to the Moon for all I care. We stored them for 61 years and all we got was grief. END QUOTE Billy these same Palestinians are your brother Arabs, most of them have been born in Lebanon in UN refugee camps as you state --- stored --- since 1948. Why have are they kept as refugees? Why have you not accepted them as fellow citizens? And why do you say it is our problem? As I remember correctly many fled when the Lebanese army attacked in 1948?

If the Arab countries would have invested in developing the Palestinian refugies living in their lands instead of keeing them in getos without citizenship, education and the right to work - then they could have been a great contribution to their societies. It's too bad that they are beeing used as pawns in the Israeli-Arab conflict.

It is Israel that has a record of ignoring UN rulings. As all the world knows.

weapons and explosives, -- no different than in the last war when they attacked Israel. As long as the Lebanese allow Lebanese civilians to live in danger, why should the world care how many of their human propaganda shields are killed?

"When Israeli hands are clean with respect to 1701...then the righteous indignation might be a little more appropriate. Oh yeah. That`s right. There is a different set of rules for Israel." Israel withdrew its forces from Lebanon based on that treaty. Oh, yeah. That's right. You have a different standard for Israel than you do for those who attack it and breach treaties.

Sir, I have to concur - Switzerland is indeed very boring, though pleasant - would gladly visit Beirut if and when possible.

i guess israel should do as united nations demands while the arab world ignores them ? Lets start with res. 181

...for Israel to go "demanding" the UN do something about Lebanon's possible violations when Israel itself has ignored, what, how many UN rulings??

Over 2 million tourists, skiing, beaches, mountain streams and waterfalls. Best night life on Earth (i lived in both NYC and London and neither can compare to Beirut)...plus we have great a great banking system. Perez is wrong. We don't want to be Switzerland...we are better than Switzerland. Has he actually been there. Probably the dullest place on earth.

Pictures of the site of the blast substantiate Hezbollah's story and debunk that of Israel & its Lebanese allies, who claim the building was used as munitions storage, that the blast was "huge", that at least 5 people were killed and many more wounded, and that the entire building was destroyed as a result of the blast... One wonders why Ha'aretz refrains from publishing the picture that goes along with the story, and instead publishes a "general" picture related to Hezbollah.

Peres is half right. Israel did return stuff to Lebanon and is still holding on to Shebaa Farms. They're Lebanese too. Also, as a Lebanese, I don't see a reason why not to have peace with Israel after Israel takes back the 600,000 Palestinians in Lebanon. As a Lebanese, it's not my problem if Israel doesn't want them. It's their problem to deal with, send them to the US or Canada or Australia or to the Moon for all I care. We stored them for 61 years and all we got was grief. What? Israelis aren't man enough to deal with it?

yawn.

again.

Not a munitions depot per se, but rather the operations center where collected Israeli dud mines, shells, rockets, cluster bombs, etc. are disassembled and re-engineered into shaped charge, improvised explosive devices. Following Iranian training, these will be employed in the next conflict quite effectively, just ask the Americans in Iraq and Afghanistan. Big thanks to the UN, Clinton, Obama etc for this . . . eh?

The UN Genral Assembly and that farce called the UNHRC is all top heavy with them.

...then the righteous indignation might be a little more appropriate. Oh yeah. That's right. There is a different set of rules for Israel. I forgot. Israel claims the UN is nothing but a hateful batch of Jew haters, that is until Israel wants to use the UN as a tool to bash its perceived enemies with. Oh yeah, now I remember the complete one-sidedness and haughty superiority we have all come to know from the Israelis...
